Synopsis

Claire (Anaïs Demoustier, Elles) is grieving the loss of her lifetime best friend Laura, who has left behind a husband, David (Romain Duris, The Spanish Apartment Trilogy, Heartbreakers) and a newborn baby. On an unannounced visit following Laura’s funeral, Claire discovers that David has been harbouring a secret that will ultimately change the course of both of their lives. In Claire, David realises that he has someone to share his secret with and develops a relationship that proves to be as emotionally complex as it is beguiling.

Directed by award winning French filmmaker François Ozon (8 Women, Swimming Pool, Young & Beautiful), The New Girlfriend is a unique perspective on the pain of grief, the search for identity and the power of an unconventional friendship.
